Reporting from Washington —
Breaking a logjam that has bedeviled doctors who treat the elderly, the Senate voted Friday to postpone a scheduled 21% cut in physician payments under Medicare.
The bill would postpone the cuts until Nov. 30, while Congress tries to develop a longer-term plan for paying doctors. But it will not become law until the House clears it, probably early next week.
